Traffic and safety
The City's latest turning-movement count, every police-reported collision within 65 m, speeds on these streets
Traffic volume14-hour count · May 5, 2026
This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. The east leg carries the load — 3,646 westbound vehicles, or 48% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 420. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 710 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 766 from 3:30 p.m. Trucks and buses were 5.5% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.
Peak hours: 710 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 766 from 3:30 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).

A collision counts when its recorded location is within 65 m of the centreline node, intersection-related or not. KSI = killed or seriously injured, the basis of the danger rankings; records can lag a year or more, so the current year is outside the window. How collisions are counted.
